[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 553811, member: 55446"] It's rumoured that a few players such as Richie Gray and Danny Cipriani have release clauses in case Sale don't make the top 6. Relegation is definitely not making the top 6! I can't imagine that Sale would want to keep their highest earners anyway. You need to be thinking ahead to the kind of squad that you need to assemble to stay in the Premiership when you get back up again. If you take Richie Gray down to the Championship, who says he'll stay around when you gain promotion again? It would be a lot of wasted money when they can develop a player. Also, the kind of money required to sustain guys like Gray and Cipriani in the Championship would be a killer to the club's finances. (Keep Gray and Cipriani and if Brian Kennedy leaves or gets forced out, Sale are screwed.) Best bet: tie down all the young guys and use the opportunity to develop them. [/QUOTE]
